A Non-Lawyer's Guide to New Jersey Estate Planning & Administration

Planning for and dealing the aftermath of one’s inevitable passing is generally an uncomfortable experience. Few people enjoy thinking about losing their independence, their eventual death, or that family members might fight and bicker over their life savings. One may try to plan for the imperfections in life, people, and the world, but things do not always pan out as intended. As attorneys, we often deal with worst-case scenarios and situations where the planning goes awry or trusted people fail to fulfill their duties. These scenarios occur much more often than people realize, and often bring to mind the cliché that the deceased loved one must be “rolling over in their grave.” If that is the case, there is a good chance the decedent did not plan properly, or chose the wrong person to trust as a fiduciary. Luckily, in many cases such issues can be resolved as long as action is taken in a timely fashion, namely, when concerns begin to arise. We write this book as attorneys who have spent years representing individuals and families as they go through their most difficult times, but also as individuals who have dealt with the passing of friends and family ourselves. This book cannot cover every single estate related issue we have come across, but it does provide a framework for the various types of issues that arise with estate administration and planning. The book is intended to educate you about your rights as a beneficiary, duties as a fiduciary, and your ability to plan for your golden years. Each case is unique, but rest assured we have almost certainly dealt with whatever issue or concern you may have regarding an estate administration, estate planning, dispute over a trust, or claim by a beneficiary. When possible, we hope this book provides you the guidance and information to resolve such issues on your own, but if not, we are a mere phone call or email away. While our practice is primarily limited to New Jersey, we can always provide an attorney referral to those dealing with estate and trust issues in other states.
